I don't point out his non-presidential behavior (and there is a lot of it) because he is generally implementing good policies, and there are enough people slowing him down, I don't want to slow him down further.

Freedom consists of the distribution of power, and despotism in its concentration.

law violations, the proposed declaration of emergency to bypass the Congressional power of the purse, huh? Side note: I'm not even talking about the various Russiagate obstruction of justice violations. He makes Barry look like G Washington. His serial lies about everything also make Barry look Washingtonesque.

I am now convinced the wall/shutdown is part of his criminal defense strategy.

Jim, do you remember when Obama paid Obamacare subsidies without Congressional authorization?

- Cost Sharing Reeuction (CSR) payments are additional subsidies for people with income below 250% of the FPL. These payments effectively make plans more generous by reducing deductibles, cost-sharing amounts, and out-of-pocket limits.
- Congress did not appropriate any money for CSR subsidies after a certain period of time
- Obama did not call a National Emergency
- He simply paid the CSR subsidies anyway

Not one of you complained when Obama spent money without authorization. However, you now complain that Trump might declare a NE and build the wall. I know you are going to respond with words like Trumpenkrieger, Bot, Fucking Asshole, etc., but let me put it to you straight: you have no guiding principles other than Orange Man Bad.
